...2 Transmitter overview
Range and span consideration
The 2600T Transmitter data sheets provide all information concerning the Range and Span limits in relation to the model and the
sensor code.
The terminology currently used to define the various parameters is as follows:
• URL: Upper Range Limit of a specific sensor. The highest value of the measured value that the transmitter can be adjusted to
measure.
• LRL: Lower Range Limit of a specific sensor. The lowest value of the measured value that the transmitter can be adjusted to
measure.
• URV: Upper Range Value. The highest value of the measured value to which the transmitter is calibrated.
• LRV: Lower Range Value. The lowest value of the measured value to which the transmitter is calibrated.
• SPAN: The algebraic difference between the Upper and Lower Range Values. The minimum span (MIN SPAN) is the minimum
value that can be used without degradation of the specified performance. The calibration span (CAL SPAN) is the difference
between Upper Range Value (URV) and Lower Range Value (LRV).
• TD: (or Turn Down Ratio) is the ratio between the maximum span and the calibrated span.
The transmitter can be calibrated with any range between the LRL and the URL with the following limitations:
– LRL ≤LRV ≤(URL - CAL SPAN)
– CAL SPAN ≥MIN SPAN
– URV ≤URL

4 Mounting
General
Study these installation instructions carefully before
proceeding.
Failure to observe the warnings and instructions may cause a
malfunction or personal hazard. Before installing the
transmitter, check whether the device design meets the
requirements of the measuring point from a measurement
technology and safety point of view.
This applies in respect of the:
• Explosion protection certification
• Measuring range
• Gauge pressure stability
• Temperature (Ambient and Process)
• Operating voltage
The suitability of the materials must be checked as regards
their resistance to the media. This applies in respect of the:
• Gasket
• Process connection, isolating diaphragm, etc.
In addition, the relevant directives, regulations, standards, and
accident prevention regulations must be observed.
Measurement accuracy is largely dependent on correct
installation of the pressure transmitter and, if applicable, the
associated measuring pipe(s). As far as possible, the measuring
setup should be free from critical ambient conditions such as
large variations in temperature, vibrations, or shocks.
If unfavorable ambient conditions cannot be avoided for
reasons relating to building structure, measurement
technology, or other issues, the measurement quality may be
affected. If a remote seal with capillary tube is installed on
the transmitter, the additional operating instructions for
remote seals and the related data sheets must be observed.
IP protection and designation
The housings for 266DDS transmitters are certified as
conforming to protection type IP66 / IP67 (according to
IEC 60529) or NEMA 4X (according to NEMA 250).
The first number indicates the type of protection the
integrated electronics have against the entry of foreign bodies,
including dust.
“6” means that the housing is dust-proof (i.e., no ingress of
dust).
The second number indicates the type of protection the
housing has against the entry of water.
“6” means that housing is protected against water; specifically,
powerful jets of water under standardized conditions.
“7” means that the housing is protected against the effects of
temporary immersion in water under standardized water
pressure and temporal conditions.
The device and its accessories (i.e. cable glands and other
electrical connections) must be carefully and duly tightened to
meet expected IP protection type.
When using/mounting cable glands, they have to meet
expected IP rating.
Mounting the transmitter
Transmitter factory configuration consideration
The 266DDS pressure transmitter in your hands has been
factory calibrated to reflect the published declared
performance specification; no further calibration is required in
normal condition. ABB typically configures 266DDS pressure
transmitters according to the user requirements. A typical
configuration includes:
• TAG number (long tag number, interconnects the primary
and secondary devices)
• Calibrated span
• Output linearization
• LCD display configuration

...4 Mounting
Mounting 266DDS pressure transmitter
The pressure transmitter can be mounted directly on the manifold. A mounting bracket for wall or pipe mounting (2” pipe) is also
available as an accessory. Ideally, the pressure transmitter should be mounted in a vertical position to prevent subsequent zero
shifts.
If the transmitter is installed inclined with respect to the vertical, the filling liquid exerts hydrostatic pressure on the measuring
diaphragm, resulting in a zero shift. In such an event, the zero point can be corrected via the zero push-button or via the “set PV
to zero” command. Please refer to the configuration section for further details. For transmitters without diaphragm seals, the
Vent / Drain considerations below should be taken into account.

In case of an HART gauge pressure transmitter with 1050 bar/15000 psi sensor range and 1/4” NPT process connection, please
always perform sensor low trimming to remove possible zero shift and prevent a serious decrease of the total performance in
terms of accuracy. Sensor low trim can be performed via LCD, DD/FDI or handheld terminals.
Figure 8: Transmitter with barrel housing with 1/4-18 NPT female process connection
For Hazardous Areas installations, at least six (6) threads on the cover must be engaged in order to meet flameproof (explosion-
proof) requirements.

Transmitter housing rotation
To improve field access to the wiring or the visibility of the
optional LCD meter, the transmitter housing may be rotated
through 360° and fixed in any position. The loosened tang-
screw acts as a stop to prevent the housing from being turned
too far. In order to proceed with housing rotation, the housing
stop tang-screw has to be unscrewed by approximately 1
rotation (do not pull it out) and, once the desired position has
been reached, retightened.
Figure 11: Housing rotation
Integral display rotation
In case an optional integral display meter is installed, it is
possible to mount the display in four different positions
rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with 90° steps. To rotate
the LCD, simply open the windowed cover (Hazardous area
prescriptions must be respected), pull-out the display housing
from the communication board. Reposition the LCD connector
according to the new desired position. Push back the LCD
module on the communication board. Be sure that the 4 plastic
fixing locks are properly in place.
Figure 12: Display rotation
Display removal
To remove the LCD it is necessary to gently grab the entire
component from the lower plastic as shown in the picture
below.
Figure 13: Grabbing area for display removal
Impulse piping connection for standard
instruments
In order for the pipes to be laid correctly, the following points
must be observed:
• The measuring pipes must be as short as possible and free
from sharp bends.
• Lay the impulse piping in such a way that no deposits
accumulate in them. Gradients should not be less than
approx. 8% (ascending or descending).
• The measuring pipes should be blown through with
compressed air or, better yet, flushed through with the
measuring medium before connection.
• Completely depressurize the impulse lines if the medium is a
fluid.
• Lay the impulse lines in such a way that gas bubbles (when
measuring fluids) or condensate (when measuring gases) can
flow back into the process line.
• Make sure the connection is tight.
• Lay the impulse line in such a way that prevents the medium
from being blown out over the measuring equipment.
s
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death. Install and
tighten process connectors and all accessories (including
manifolds) before applying pressure. In case of toxic or
otherwise dangerous process fluid, take any precautions as
recommended in the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet
when draining or venting. Use only a 12 mm (15/32 in)
hexagonal spanner to tighten the bracket bolts..

5 Transmitter wiring
Observe the applicable regulations governing electrical installation. Wiring must be executed in absence of power supply.
Since the transmitter has no switch-off elements, overvoltage protection devices, lightning protection, and voltage separation
capacity must be provided at the plant (overvoltage/lightning protection is optional). Check that the existing operating voltage
corresponds to the voltage indicated on the name plate.The same lines are used for both the power supply and output signal. In
case the surge protection option is present and the transmitter is installed in a Hazardous area, the transmitter has to be power
supplied from a voltage source isolated from mains (galvanic separation). Furthermore the equipotentiality for the entire
powering cable must be guaranteed since the intrinsic safety circuit of the transmitter is grounded.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause electrical shock.
Do NOT make electrical connections unless the electrical code designation stamped on the transmitter data plate agrees with
the classification of the area in which the transmitter is to be installed.
Failure to comply with this warning can result in fire or explosion.
Cable connection
Depending on the design supplied, the electrical connection is established via a cable entry, M20 x 1.5 or 1/2-14 NPT thread.
The screw terminals are suitable for wire cross sections of up to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 14).It is recommended that you strip approx. 30 to
35 mm (1.18 to 1.38 in) off the cable jacket (see figure 14). Use wiring rated 10 °C minimum above ambient temperature).
With Category 3 transmitters for use in “Zone 2”, a qualified cable gland for this type of protection must be installed by the
customer (see the section “Hazardous Area Consideration”). A thread is in the electronics housing for this purpose. For
ransmitters with “Flameproof enclosure” (Ex d) type of protection, the housing cover must be secured using the locking screw.
The screw plug that may have been supplied with the transmitter must be sealed at the plant using Molykote DX.
The installer assumes responsibility for any other type of sealing medium used. At this point, we wish to draw your attention to
the fact that increased force will be required to unscrew the housing cover after an interval of several weeks. This is not caused
by the threads, but instead is due solely to the type of gasket.

IMPORTANT

18 266 DDS HART | PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS | OI/266DDS-EN REV. B
Application Permissible voltage range of power supply
Standard
Transmitter operated outside the potentially explosive atmosphere from 12 to 42 V
Transmitter operated inside the potentially explosive atmosphere from 12 to 30 V max (intrinsically safe)
Transmitter operated inside the potentially explosive atmosphere from 12 to 42 V max (explosion proof)
HART hand-held communicator may be connected at any wiring termination point in the loop, providing the minimum resistance is
250 ohm. If this is less than 250 ohm, additional resistance should be added to allow communications. The handheld terminal is
connected between the resistor and transmitter, not between the resistor and power source.
Supply requirement
For signal/power connection use twisted, stranded pairs of wiring no 18 to 22 AWG / 0.8 to 0.35mm2 ø up to 5000 feet (1500
meters). Longer loops require larger wire.
If a shielded wire is used, the shield should be grounded only at one end, not both ends. In case of wiring at transmitter end, use
the terminal located inside the housing marked with the appropriate sign.
The 4 to 20 mA dc output signal and the dc power supply to the transmitter are carried from the same pairs of wires.
The transmitter operates from 12 to 42 V DC with no load and is protected against reverse polarity connection.
For Ex ia and other intrinsically safe approval power supply must not exceed 30 V DC.
For maximum power supply voltage please refer to the top identification plate of the transmitter.
The actual possible line length of the electrical circuit depends on the total capacitance and resistance, and can be estimated using
the following formula:
Where:
L = Line length in meters
R = Total line resistance in Ω(ohms)
C = Line capacitance in pF/m
Cf = Maximum internal capacitance of the HART field devices located in the circuit, in pF
Avoid routing cables with other electrical cables (with inductive load, etc.) or near large electrical equipment.
Cable, cable gland and unused port plug must be in accordance with the intended type of protection (e.g. intrinsically safe,
explosion proof, etc.) and degree of protection (e.g. IP6x according to IEC EN 60529 or NEMA 4x). See also the addendum for
“EX SAFETY” ASPECTS AND “IP” PROTECTION.
In particular, for explosion proof installation, remove the red temporary plastic cap and plug the unused opening with a plug
certified for explosion containment.

...5 Transmitter wiring
Wiring procedure
Follow these steps to wire the transmitter:
• Remove the temporary plastic cap from one of the two electrical connection ports located at both sides in the upper part of
the transmitter housing.
• These connection ports may have a 1/2 inch internal NPT-F or M20 threads. Various adaptors and bushings can be fitted to
these threads to comply with plant wiring (conduit) standards.
• Remove the housing cover of the “field terminals” side. See the indication on housing. In an Explosion-Proof/Flame-Proof
installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is applied to the unit.
• Run the cable through the cable gland and the open port.
• Connect the positive lead to the + terminal, and the negative lead to the – terminal.
• If applicable, install wiring with a drip loop. Arrange the drip loop so the bottom is lower than the conduit connections and the
transmitter housing.
• Before reassembling covers, the integrity of the cover O-rings must be checked. If damaged they must be replaced with an
original spare part. A slight grease layer should be applied for proper lubrication.
• Put back the housing cover, turn it to seat O-ring into the housing and then continue to hand tighten until the cover contacts
the housing metal-to-metal. In Ex-d (Explosion Proof) installation, lock the cover rotation by turning the set nut (use the 2mm
Allen key supplied with the instrument).
• Plug and seal the electrical ports. Make sure that when the installation has been completed, the electrical ports are properly
sealed against entry of rain and/or corrosive vapors and gases.
Grounding
Pressure transmitter housing should be grounded or earthed in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Ground
connection is mandatory for surge protector equipped devices in order to ensure proper functioning.
Protective grounding terminals (PE) are available outside and/or inside the housing of the transmitter. Both ground terminals are
electrically connected and it is up to the user to decide which one to use. The most effective transmitter case grounding method
is direct connection to earth ground with impedance equal to or less than 5 ohm.
Figure 15 - Ground connection on transmitter housing
Surge protector equipped terminal block (optional)
The pressure transmitter housing with surge protector (ordering code digit S2) inside the terminal board must be connected using
the grounding terminal (PE), by means of a short connection with the equipotential bonding. Equipotential bonding conductor
must have 4.00mm2 of maximum cross-section.
Test voltage withstand capability can no longer be ensured when this protective circuit is used.
